The Fall of Wolfsoule

Plainke

A vast, decaying winter world, where darkness, corruption, and evil lead to its eventual ruin.

Author's Note: This campaign is also incomplete but in a playable state. I'll be working on it nearly daily, so possibly wait a few days for additional plot lines. The overall goal of this campaign centers around the Four Heroes who have secretly fallen to corruption. No one believes they could be evil, but your party (or self) has uncovered the truth as the sole surviving witnesses to one of the hero's wrath. Will you sacrifice your humanity to end these heroes? Or will you morally fight for the greater good, never stooping to their level? But of course this is your campaign, so do as you please :) Also if Franz won't give you a fight, select your dice rolls, and do an initiative. That should force an encounter where its implied. paste this at the start of your campaign (for Franz) - Begin messages with the current date, location. - NPCs refer to the player as "adventurer" unless a name is given. - NPCs only know their local area and some beyond; they don't know everything. - NPCs always stay in their set locations; no movement unless specifically directed by the party (example: if the party leads someone somewhere). - NPCs’ behavior should align with their background and personality; they also pick a god/Goddess based on their backstory/personality. - Assign daily routines to all NPCs, including work, rest, and meals. - Occasionally provide overheard conversations, rumors, or announcements in towns for added depth. - Respect Player Agency: Always present multiple options or paths for the players to choose from, adapting the - story accordingly, even if it's evil or leads to death. - Remind players to consume one ration between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM in-game. - Skill checks should be requested when skills are used (example: picking a lock, crafting, fleeing combat). - Players must provide gold or make deals to receive items from shops. - Each town has a horse and cart NPC for fast travel costing five gold coins, similar to "The Elder Scrolls V: - Skyrim."

Description

This rod has a flanged head, and it functions as a magic mace that grants a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. The rod has properties associated with six different buttons that are set in a row along the haft. It has three other properties as well, detailed below. ***Six Buttons.*** You can press one of the rod's six buttons as a bonus action. A button's effect lasts until you push a different button or until you push the same button again, which causes the rod to revert to its normal form. If you press **button 1**, the rod becomes a flame tongue, as a fiery blade sprouts from the end opposite the rod's flanged head. If you press **button 2**, the rod's flanged head folds down and two crescent-shaped blades spring out, transforming the rod into a magic battleaxe that grants a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. If you press **button 3**, the rod's flanged head folds down, a spear point springs from the rod's tip, and the rod's handle lengthens into a 6-foot haft, transforming the rod into a magic spear that grants a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. If you press **button 4**, the rod transforms into a climbing pole up to 50 feet long, as you specify. In surfaces as hard as granite, a spike at the bottom and three hooks at the top anchor the pole. Horizontal bars 3 inches long fold out from the sides, 1 foot apart, forming a ladder. The pole can bear up to 4,000 pounds. More weight or lack of solid anchoring causes the rod to revert to its normal form. If you press **button 5**, the rod transforms into a handheld battering ram and grants its user a +10 bonus to Strength checks made to break through doors, barricades, and other barriers. If you press **button 6**, the rod assumes or remains in its normal form and indicates magnetic north. (Nothing happens if this function of the rod is used in a location that has no magnetic north.) The rod also gives you knowledge of your approximate depth beneath the ground or your height above it. ***Drain Life.*** When you hit a creature with a melee attack using the rod, you can force the target to make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the target takes an extra 4d6 necrotic damage, and you regain a number of hit points equal to half that necrotic damage. This property can't be used again until the next dawn. ***Paralyze.*** When you hit a creature with a melee attack using the rod, you can force the target to make a DC 17 Strength saving throw. On a failure, the target is paralyzed for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. This property can't be used again until the next dawn. ***Terrify.*** While holding the rod, you can use an action to force each creature you can see within 30 feet of you to make a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, a target is frightened of you for 1 minute. A frightened target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. This property can't be used again until the next dawn.
